Video Of Beaten Five-Year-Old On Mom’s Phone Helped Crack Case

Video on the cellphone of five-year-old AJ Freund’s mother is what cracked the murder case conducted by Crystal Lake Police. The Chicago Tribune reports the footage taken a month before the boy’s death showed that he had serious bruising on his face and body and he was getting yelled at for wetting the bed. JoAnn Cunningham’s phone records showed that she also searched for child CPR on the night of her AJ’s death. The boy’s parents are both held in McHenry County Jail on five-million dollars bail each.
